That's what i figured - probably a blind reach with a ratchet and extension
I bought some 370z seat brackets just to compare and I struck me how much longer distance there is between the front and rear mounting bolts. That would probably help in this situation but would still be a pain I'm the ass with a fixed back seat.
I think what I'm gonna do is use the factory mount and slider on my oem seats to bottom mount a new seat. I think I figure out last night how to unbolt them without drilling any rivets.
I'll keep everyone posted.

IIRC I have seen a post here regarding limited torque cycles on the stock seat mounting bolts. Do have a search....

They use those special e style heads, so that means Porsche doesn't want the reused. I was planning on replacing them with new 10.9 grade when all is sorted. Thanks for the heads up!

In the back, I have to start the bolts by feel (can't see) in a very tight space while the seat pushes against the center tunnel,, where with the studs, the seat drops right onto the rear studs and I just have to thread the nut on, also by feel in a very tight space, but easier :-)

That makes sense, I appreciate the suggestion! Have you had any problems with those studs loosening up in the odd bolt-cut threads?
